Sex Stimulant Activity of Sesquiterpenes to the Males of the American Cockroach

Abstract
Sesquiterpenes and their derivatives were prepared for the bioassay of sex stimulant activity on the males of the American cockroach. Among these compounds, germacrene D 1,2-epoxide (XI), l,5-dimethylene-2-acetoxy-8-isopropylcyclodec-6-ene (XIV) and shyobunone (XV) were found to be weak stimulants only for the males of the American cockroach.
